Meet Our Staff

Hey there, I’m Bill Harrison, and I’ve been part of the Whitten Brothers of Ashland family since 2012. I started as a Sales Manager. A couple of years later, I stepped into the role of General Sales Manager — and I’ve loved every minute of it.

My journey into the automotive world began in 1995 after almost 10 years in the insurance business. It didn’t take long to realize I’d found my true calling — working with people, helping them grow, and making sure every customer leaves with more than just a car, but a great experience too.

I grew up in Abingdon, Virginia, went to the University of Tennessee (GO VOLS), and eventually made my way to Richmond. Over the years, this place — and the people — have truly become home. What I love most about my job is the people I get to meet. Some of them started as customers or coworkers and have turned into lifelong friends.

I married my amazing wife Helen back in 1989, and together we’ve raised two sons who now have families of their own. When I’m not at the dealership, there’s a good chance you’ll find me doing something hands-on, whether it’s building something out of wood, running a boat up and down the Chickahominy River, or even flying a plane (I earned my pilot’s license in 2001).

Life’s been a fun ride filled with family, friends, and plenty of adventures, and I’m grateful every day that I get to do what I love surrounded by great people.

I serve as part of the finance and sales management team at Whitten Brothers of Ashland, bringing valuable experience and a strong commitment to customer service. I’ve been in the automotive industry since 2018, with a background in both sales and finance. I’m passionate about helping customers find the right vehicle while making the buying process smooth, transparent, and enjoyable.

Originally from California, I now call Virginia home and enjoy being part of the local community. One of my favorite local events is the Smoketree Zombie Fun Run, which helps bring people together for family-friendly fun.

Outside of work, I focus on spending time with my family and supporting my children’s sports and activities. I like camping and kayaking/stand up paddleboarding (SUP).

I believe that building relationships and providing excellent service are at the heart of every successful customer experience.

Originally from North Carolina, I came to Richmond upon deciding to return to my Southern roots following seven years in New York City. After being here over 20 years, I now consider myself to be a Virginian but maintain some loyalty to UNC and Wake Forest. I have been with Whitten Brothers for over five years in Ashland and several years prior to that at our Southside location. Whitten Brothers is truly a great place to be and I always enjoy seeing both old and new customers.

I’ve been married to my lovely wife Vicki for 31 years. We have two adult children and two grandchildren. I’ve worked in construction for 14 years and been in sales for 16 years and in car sales for 13 years. I still enjoy playing basketball, watching football and basketball when I’m not selling cars. Enjoy going to movies and seeing action flicks… Enjoy spending time with my family and especially the grandchildren!
